Final Fantasy XIII Update

I would just like to say that at nearly 15 hours of gameplay I am still finding the same problems with the gameplay itself. I am not interested at all in the system of the game, but the storyline has evolved into a fantastic story which seems to be the only thing holding me to completing this game.

Fear The Future

An hours play of Metro 2033 and a day taken off of my life. So far the setting is gripping, intimidating and heavily Soviet...what more could you ask for? The game seems to appeal so far, but whether or not repetitiveness will set in is yet to be known. The HUD seems to work well with the surroundings; like that of Dead Space, and the graphics are just right for the game (verging on too weak but not quite there). After an hours play-time I look forward to seeing what the game has to offer.

Final Letdown XIII

So I am (around) halfway through Final Fantasy XIII with a total time of 10 hours and 36 minutes. I have just found out that the so-far extremely linear game will continue for the next 40-90 hours as there is no world map, no shops, no explorable globe of any kind. This was a massive letdown for me as being able to free roam was one of the greatest parts of the past Final Fantasy games. This joined with the fact of poorly developed characters that come across as more irritating than mysterious, the worst soundtrack of the Final Fantasy collection, shops that are in floating save points (harbouring millions of items in 'nothingness'), no primary enemy to work your way towards beating and sometimes the odd cutscene thrown in that seems completely pointless makes the game the worst of the series. I would not recommend this game to many people, unless you primarily enjoy the battle system.

A Divine Comedy

So I haven't updated my games blog for a while now, and I restart with my completion of Dante's Inferno. Well what can I say? What a game! This game does the poem credit, with great graphic imagery, fantastic characters, and a great plot. The cut scenes were some of the best graphics I have seen in a long time and getting the full 1000 points on this game was really enjoyable. The first hack n slash that was not repetitive. This game got 9/10 from me!
